Fairhope Airport Authority recently held a special meeting, Jan 8th to discuss a โnotice of availabilityโ.
The notice covers many issues and the final draft, particularly the issue of leases, bidding procedures and fuel farms, are all issues being revisited from the โfailedโ process in late 2016. This was the subject of a series of Ripp Report articles covering the infamous lease in question at the time. The first article was posted Nov. 2016.
YOU DONโT KNOW JACK
I have followed four Fairhope city councils and one thing I can tell you is with each new council several things became abundantly clear. The new members of the council are usually influenced byโฆ

Have no fear Fairhope, the people involved with, You Donโt Know Jack, are now going to set the rules for everyone else. Council President Burrell, the City liaison on the board, showed up late, without pen, paper or notes, which he had to borrow, but he let Airport Authority Chairman Joe McEnerney know who was Captain.
Captain Jack blasted Joe at about minute 14:00. Seems Joe, who is the Chairman of the Board, was guaranteeing certain “chosen ones” hanger locations, prior to any bid process. Joe even gave the Ripp Report a shout out at the end of the meeting.
Captain Jack has made it perfectly clear from his past actions that no one gets a hanger location without Captain Jackโs approval. He should not hold the title of city liaison, he has not represented the citizens or the best interests of the community.
As President of the Council, he has run the Airport Authority to the satisfaction of the 1%, or less, that use the Airport. Captain Jack was also the man who made sure the City Attorney and Municipal Judge appointments went as he wished. Hopefully all three will leave their posts in the next election.
Captain Jack has dominated the position of Council President, going on 7 years. The Council has learned what Joe has not, that is, Captain Jack is flying the plane, they are only passengers.

Captain Jack needs to be demoted to private.
Jack looks good in that flight jacket.
Jack has a real flight jacket. From when he was an admiral.
Looks like a bully to me.
The First Lady Melania would be against JACK.
Jack should sue you for all of the lies you print.
He would lose. He’s a public figure. Read up on it. See, when Ripp wins a lawsuit it means he is right according to the law. When Jack loses, and he did lose, it means he broke the law and was in the wrong. That’s how it works and you people calling his lawsuits frivolous should look up what that means as it doesn’t apply to lawsuits that are won.
I heard you took a trip to the tropics on city cash.
I think that is great.
I hope you had a good time.
You deserve it for screwing with these council stooges.
I am glad Ripp sues Burrell. Ripp confirmed our rights by doing this
Flack jacket.
That is NOT really Jack. Bad photoshop. The face is him though.
Dammit Clem. You are a genius. LOLโ
Why so many new subdivisions going up? I thought we were slowing the growth?
It’s getting to be too much.
New subdivisions are going up because those that are putting them in OWN the county commission and city government.
This is our fault because we keep putting in Catalyst-owned politicians
Yeah Baby! Go Catalyst! Growth, money, and prosperity.
Growth is good
Greed is good.
Fairhope is doing fine. Wonderful place to grow kids. Stopnhowling Ripp.
